Non-melanomatous Skin Cancer
Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Patients With Skin Cancer
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. Photodynamic therapy using aminolevulinic acid cream may be effective in treating patients with skin cancer.
- Trial name
- NCT00002963
- Testing
- aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride, conventional surgery
- Where
- United States
- Sponsor
- Roswell Park Cancer Institute
Non-melanomatous Skin Cancer
Photodynamic Therapy Using Aminolevulinic Acid in Treating Patients With Skin Cancer
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed. This may be an effective treatment against skin cancer.
- Trial name

- aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 20 people
- Sponsor
- Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York
Breast Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer
Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Patients With Skin Cancer or Solid Tumors Metastatic to the Skin
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. This may be effective treatment for skin cancer and cancer that is metastatic to the skin.
- Conditions
- Breast Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Lymphoma, Metastatic Cancer
- Trial name
- NCT00023790

Cervical Cancer, Esophageal Cancer
Isotretinoin Plus Interferon in Treating Patients With Recurrent Cancer
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of isotretinoin may be an effective way to prevent cancer or stop cancer from growing.
- Conditions
- Cervical Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Lung Cancer
- Trial name
- NCT00002506
- Testing
- recombinant interferon alfa, isotretinoin
- Where
